Pre-reading Activities

Good ideas often come from the unconscious mind or brain activity that is not controlled. For example, Wagner thought about writing a piece of music for many years and struggled for many months to start it. Then, suddenly, when he was ill and couldn’t sleep, he fell into a sleeplike state and the sound of water in his work. His conscious mind at that moment did not have a part in forming the music. In another example, Poincare’s conscious mind actually watched his unconscious mind at work as it developed a very difficult mathematical function. In a third example, the philosopher Descartes made an important discovery with

the help of a dream.

2. When Wagner was ill and couldn’t sleep, he fell into a sleeplike state and the sound of water in his mind became the music for the opening of his work. 3. (Open-ended.)

Structured Writing Exercise XII

When I started to learn English at my junior middle school, I had a kind and patient teacher. She was very encouraging to all of her students. Because of her encouragement, I answered every question I could eagerly, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the

top of my class for two years. In contrast, the method by which I was taught English in senior middle school was not well suited to my learning style. My new teacher quickly punished those who gave wrong answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she would shout at us. As a result I lost my desire and confidence and did not make any progress in learning.
